Hello there blog friends. First, my prayers go out to the people in Japan and all those affected by that horrific earthquake last night. I was up late watching the news when it happened and simply could not believe my eyes. The tsunami was unbelievable. While I was watching I just kept saying “oh no” and I guess my tone had enough alarm that my dog came in to see what I was so alarmed about. Thankfully there was some notice and the Japanese are accustomed to earthquakes. Again, my prayers.
I do have a card to share today using some of the new releases from Our Daily Bread Designs. The sentiment is from a set called Daffodil Tag Set and I’m also using a new set called Fancy Labels. I took the opportunity to use some of my Zva Pearls – they are the perfect elegant embellishment. Also, even though you all think I’m the wide ribbon girl – the seam binding I used today has the dreamiest drape. I only wish that other ribbons had the same weight and feel and behaved like this.
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Daffodil Tag Set, Fancy Labels Paper: DCWV, Bazzill, Gold Foil Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Prussian Blue Accessories: Spellbinders Labels Seventeen, Spellbinders Labels Fourteen, Zva Creative Pearls, Recollections Flower |
I’m working on a Becca Bit you’ve requested for later on today. Come back and see me!! Happy Friday!!
Stunning!
Beautiful. TFS God bless and have a great day.
Wow Becca, another beautiful card. Please tell me, do you have templates to stick down all those pearls or do you stick them one at a time??? What is your secret. I am sure it would take me a whole week to stick that many pearls.
Really beautiful.
Wowoeee! Becca you’ve already blown me away once this morning and now you’ve done it again with this stunning card…just how much excitement can a girl take in less than a couple of hours! Lol! I so love visiting your beautiful blog. Beautiful colours, stunning ribbons and flower and that sentiment is so lovely. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Love Sheila xx
Oh that is so beautiful Becca…..love your layering as always:-)
Beautiful card as all of your cards are!!
I could not sleep and turned on the computer. I have been watching the BBC live streaming coverage for hours . My heart goes out to all the people affected. Not only in Japan , but all the people in countries that are in the path of the Tsunami . Watching that Tsunami roll into Japan was terrifying. The BBC said this was the strongest earthquake in Japanese history. It will be days before they know the extent of the damage and lost lives. We all need to Pray for them!
Hi Becca!
My prayers also go to the Japanese People. How devastating for them. I have a nephew living in Japan. Thank the Lord that he is okay. It happened at 5pm my time in Australia. I was like you Becca. Totally stunned.
Your card is beautiful. I love this scripture. I say this one every day when I pray. I love your flower. I love to make flowers. Not that I have for a long time.
I love the frame. It’s gorgeous.
Hugs Maz
A stunning design as always. Our thoughts go with those in Japan at this very sad and devastating time.
Mecca my prayers are with them also. As well as those on our canadian west coast who now have a tsunami warning. You card is stunning as always!
Your card is very pretty today Becca, love the flower on top of the bow, a nice touch. My prayers go out to all those in Japan. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Beautiful card! Love the shine and bling. Very sad news. My prayers go out to everyone involved.
How pretty! Love the Spring colors. Can’t wait for that!!!!!! It’s been a looong winter.
I am loving the use of gold on your recent cards, Becca.
You are such an inspiration, this is so gorgeous!
Simply breathtaking! You are such an artiste!
Beautiful card.
oh I love this card !! but then I love all your cards.This one uses such pretty colors and many layers.. Also love the bow — have to find some of this seam binding.How do you get the little blue boarder around your sentiment?? Is it another nestie size??
I was saying the same thing…..Oh my!….I couldn’t believe…my heart and prayers go out to them…..
Your card is so beautiful….love those pearls…..thank you for sharing….
Yes, Becca, prayers are needed as Hawaii and parts of Alaska and some of CA is being affected now from the earthquake in Japan. May our dear Lord have mercy on all.
Your scripture on today’s card is written on my board on the fridge. One has to see it every time going into the box…LOL
I love your die as I own that one. Another beauty for our pleasure. Have a blessed Friday in our LOrd.
Hugs, Jeanielou
What a lovely card! Sweet colours & embellishments.
Beautiful Card Becca.
Becca,
I’m pretty new to your blog and I love it not only for the beauty of your art but for the words that I read on them! So inspiring, it’s almost like having a devotional moment :) every time I look at your cards.
Anyhow, I was curious as to how you line up your stamp to fit perfectly in the unscrolly area of the zva pearls? Which do you put down first? The stamped sentiment or the pearls?
Thank you for sharing what you love to do!
Love the card. Love the sentiment. Prayers go up for the people of Japan. I couldn’t get away from the TV this morning watching the news. Thank you for inspiring me!
Another beauty Becca!
Your work is beautiful. Please tell us how you got that narrow blue border around the sentiment piece? It is great.
So beautiful, Becca! I’d love to know where you purchased your seam binding? I love it and it colors so beautifully when you use Copics! I want to purchase a huge roll, so I can play with coloring and not have to “skimp”.
Beautiful, as always.
I recently found you and and surprised and delighted each day as I learn something new. You have such an elegant touch. I love Spellbinders…new to them as well.
Bekka, I am always delighted when visiting your blog, your creations are simply amazing. The spellbinders that you use always seem perfect for the end results. Your choices must be made from so many products, yet you always have the perfect combo. Thank you for sharing, and I join you in prayer for the people of Japan. I also pray that the tsunami will not impact the USA with the strong forces that can destroy our coastal areas.
Just lovely, like the gold against that color, pretty framing and lovely pearls!
I had not heard yet about Japan, there are so many prayers needed all over the world right now!
A stunning card, Becca! Just beautiful :0)
Wanted to pop in and say thank you for your sweet words about Japan and the TSUNAMI. My entire family is lives in Tokyo so imagine my surprise to read/listen to the news when I woke up. Thank goodness for FB. I was able to get a hold of them (phone lines are down)…they are safe…shaken but OK. I visited SENDAI where the TSUNAMI hit – it is a beautiful place. So sad for the area and its residence. Again, thank you, sweet lady for mentioning us. xo
Beautiful card!
Yes, my prayers are going out to all the victims of this tragedy. It’s going right around the world all of this strife…so sad.
I sat up half the night listening to the broadcasts and am horrified to watch CNN! This they say is the 7th strongest in recorded history…and to hit during their day time when evreyone is at work.
They are even expecing the tsunami to hit Vancouver Island…talk about far reaching.
Yes, we must all pray for the Japanese affected by this horrific quake and tsunami, as well as all the other folks on the Pacific rim who may also be affected shortly. May they all be safe.
Your new card is picture perfect. How do you do it? And seam-binding? Who wudda thunk?
So many beautiful cards! yesterday’s as well as today’s – absolutely wonderful!!
definitely praying for japan. it is devastating to see these things happening. on a lighter note, your card is just beautiful. so elegant and classy.
OH, Becca!! It’s GORGEOUS!!
I don’t traditionally listen to tv news, but I too was up late, and I heard about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. I am not a worrier by nature. Because if I can not change things, I refuse to worry about them. But the news is so full of all sorts of horrible things, it’s almost impossible not to worry! Does that make sense? I was up late because my boyfriend called to tell me his mom is back in the hospital. So I slept about two hours total.
It’s going to be a long day! Please pray for her (Bev), and the family.
Thanks for your lush, and lovely card! I love the gold!
Hugs, Jessica
As usual, this is so elegant and beautiful! God has certainly given you a wonderful talent.
Hello Becca, another fabulous card, it is stunning. Like you I could not believe what I I was seeing. Those poor people- so many losing their lives. Take care Anne
Becca, This is one of my favorites of all your beautiful cards! Loved the colors, paper, verse – just stunning! Thank you for always inspiring creativity! Hugs, Magi
Hi Becca,
Such a stunning card today!!
LOVE your paper.
Hugs, Candy
I like the colors and the pearls and I love the saying on the card. Thank you for sharing.
Have a great weekend :)
Delama
Gorgeous card!!!! How do you get the pearls to lay so good? Mine twist up and don’t always go where they are supposed to!! lol
Oh Becca this is so very beautiful!!! I love every single detail!!!
Another gorgeous card and loved the Becca bit!

Stunning card! What stamp did you use on the labels seventeen die cut out or one of the ODBD stamps? If so which one?
I am so sorry for the people of Japan. Such a tragedy with so much destruction. My prayers are with them. Bless you.
What’s the secret to getting shaped bling (like the Zva Pearls) to retain its shape so you can get it on the card properly? I’ve never used Zva Pearls, so maybe they are put together differently than the shaped pearls I’ve gotten from Michaels?
BECCA BECCA YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN. ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL
BUT THE SETIMENT IS BEAUTIFUL ALSO. THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER
LESSON IN CARD MAKING.
CYNTHIA
GORGEOUS!!!!!!
Hugs Corine
Wow, I love everything about this card. The colors, the swirly pearlies, it’s Amazing!
And I love to hear my babies sing this Psalm, in Dutch…
Did you use a stamp, or just printed the verse on cardstock?
Thanks for sharing and God bless you!
